Collective firepower of the US Tomahawk Cruise Missile

Ma'am can you share some of these missiles with us ? :ashamed:

So that Pakistan Stronk too ! :agree:

You can buy the NASAMS II system from Kongsberg and alter its ESSM, without permission, for use on Naval ships. NASAMS batteries typically use the AIM-120 - in different configurations for different ranges (AIM-120C has a slant range of greater than 50km), but the ESSM has been tested as well, though it's called the ESSM-ER (range 40-50 KM).

Not sure about the missiles, but I would be glad to share some of my super quality quality Mexican food with you :-)

I've always wanted to try some Mexican food; I hear its as spicy as South Asian food ! :smitten:

Very nice, but it needs and anti-ship version. Nothing says F**k Off!!! like a standoff missile with a range bordering 1000km (or more:D).

Don't know abt it having a anti ship variant but a sub launched one is under development ...

For anti ship .. Still relying on Harpions,Exos and Chinese C series .. Including the Mach 5.5 CM-400?

isn't sl-amraam has a range of 40km, thats why haven't seen it on naval platforms in place of essm as you are suggesting, why alter when nasams is already coming with amraam, does aim-120 have the capability of quad-packed?

No, the SL-AMRAAM-ER has a slant range up to 40 Km, but it's dependent on the type of AIM-120 being used. the AIM-120A will have less range than the AIM-120C.

why alter when nasams is already coming with amraam

Because the ESSM-ER offers better counter-missile performance at greater ranges - considering the ESSM is used primarily for anti-missile defense on warships and will be equally effective on land. The most important word I used is "augment" - the ESSM-ER will allow a NASAMS II battery to have counter-missile capabilities, while the AIM-120 is used for air defense.

does aim-120 have the capability of quad-packed?

On a NASAMS II launcher nothing does.

On ESSM-ER per cell:

On AIM-120 per cell too:

Um, whato_O? I didn't say a surface launched AIM-120 would replace the ESSM on Naval systems, I said an ESSM-ER would augment the AIM-120 on the NASAMS II for land-based air and missile defense. The NASAMS II isn't a Naval platform and won't replace the ESSM launcher - it will replace legacy SAM batteries like HAWK though.

sl amraam is based on 120c-7, the c-8 i guess has not been sold yet, the c-7 has air launched range of 100km, and c-8 has 180, so its ground launched will easily be in 60-70 km area, and thus can become a better option against essm, but as you sail will depend on its anti missile capability.
i think we will go with genesis upgrade for OHP with 32 ESSM.

i am talking just about the missile, not the launching platform, and i am more interested towards naval platform than a land based system.

Why do you say "collective" is this aimed at the chinese , or the russian ? :D cause eitherway they won't understand

Sometimes civilians need to be taught lessons to never bomb the USA and Western countries.
sometimes you should be attacked so you feel the pain. and sometime your country should be attacked and bombed each corner of it for WMD which later they would never find.
